 So in case of MySQL you would have to use TCP sockets to communicate

CPU power there is available on that server.


The result of running these sort of connections over TCP rather than a 
UNIX domain connection are far more dramatic than this would indicate.  
When I wrote mSQL and added UNIX domain sockets as a connection option 
I was able to produce a 10 fold increase in query processing rates for 
basic queries.  If there's a high and constant rate of queries then 
doing it over a TCP connection is not going to win you any friends.

Re: Any hosting companies offering FreeBSD 5.3 yet?

2005-02-27 Thread David J. Hughes

I know www.johncompanies.com will be offering 5.x soon.  I've had a 
4.x
jail with them for quite some time and am very happy with the service
and support.
I second that.  Their service is hands-down the best I've ever had for
anything technology-related.

And from the social conscience point of view, they offer a discount to 
open source developers.  That, combined with great service makes them a 
pretty good choice.

I'm thinking about moving one of my servers to a new home (it's
currently at servepath.com on a FreeBSD 5.0 box) - does anybody know of
a reputable hosting company that's offering 5.3 boxes?
